Chapter 2029

Penulis: Wendell Mayhew
Anton knew how the world worked. He wasn't just a brainless wealthy heir. Although he had already offended Sebastian, the latter hadn't killed Anton the way he had the others. That meant that he still had a chance!

If he played his cards right, he might even be able to win Sebastian's favor. And if that happened, the Wentworths wouldn't just prosper in Boren, but they'd rise to new heights.

As for the properties under his name, how much were they worth? Anton knew that he would have to spend money to earn money.

"We'll talk about it when Mr. Ballard returns from Mount Quiln," Joaquin said. "However, I've got to warn you. You were able to get out alive because he was lenient. There won't be a next time!"

He sighed deeply and waved a hand at Anton impatiently. Then, he returned alone to his study.

Anton slumped onto the floor as he gazed at Joaquin's retreating figure.

"What on earth happened, Anton?" Peggy asked as she helped Anton up from the floor. She pulled him to sit on the c

    As Duo was formed from dragon energy, the cursed energy didn't affect him at all. In fact, he couldn't even detect its presence.However, Sebastian was made of flesh and blood. If the cursed energy entered his body, the consequences would be catastrophic. Without hesitation, Sebastian took out the Sky Devouring Bottle and held it in the palm of his hand.Muttering a chant under his breath, the Sky Devouring Bottle began sucking up the cursed energy that was surrounding them. Cursed energy was the bane of Warriors and mystic arts practitioners. However, it would be refined into energy replenishing pills once it was absorbed into the Sky Devouring Bottle, which would be very beneficial to Sebastian.Soon enough, energy replenishing pills began spilling out of the mouth of the bottle. The pills that had been refined this time were all mystic pills that were a purplish scarlet color the size of jelly beans.Even though Sebastian was at the advanced stage of the fourth level of the

    "Du—"Sebastian had just taken a step toward Duo when he was suddenly hit by a terrifying wave of energy. It crashed heavily against his chest.He staggered backward and spat out a mouthful of blood. If a single wave of energy was already that powerful, one could imagine the sheer force of the lightning strike that Duo had endured.Duo's eyes remained tightly shut. He was adjusting his breathing continuously, and scales grew all over his body once more. They glowed with a dark light and enveloped his entire body. "My lord, please leave this place quickly. The next eight thunder tribulations will be more powerful than the last. At your current realm, you won't even be able to withstand the aftershocks!" he said seriously with his eyes still closed.Sebastian looked up at the sky. The lightning bolt had burned a hole in the rock above their heads, and it was as big as a water tank.The clouds in the sky above them were dark and oppressive. Lightning flashed in the storm clouds

    "My lord, you—"Although Duo was formed from spiritual energy, he knew that divine tribulations couldn't be avoided. If the divine law found out that he had avoided the thunder tribulation on purpose, he would have to face the destructive and terrifying divine thunder the next time."The thunder tribulation can become your secret weapon. If you're in a dangerous situation, you just have to crush this Tribulation Avoidance Charm, and the thunder tribulation will be upon you at once. No matter how strong your opponent is, they are unlikely to be able to withstand it!"Sebastian took the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and folded it into a triangle before handing it to Duo. He said, "Keep it carefully and follow my lead!"Duo took the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and nodded heavily as he said, "Yes!"Although he hadn't experienced the full divine tribulation, Duo's energy was now equivalent to an expert at the first level of the Soul Awakening stage. As they continued forward, Sebasti

    Sebastian glanced impassively at Andreas before turning to Duo. "Let's go!"Duo nodded and followed behind Sebastian as they strode into the estate.From the outside, the estate looked extremely grand and luxurious. Once they had walked in, they saw that it stretched out into the distance on either side. Right in the center of the estate was a man-made lake that was several dozen acres wide. There were towers and pavilions built on the lake itself, and winding walkways that led straight to another tall watchtower that was several miles away. Under the moonlight, the surface of the lake gleamed silver. The water lilies around them emitted a refreshing fragrance. The entire estate made them feel relaxed and at ease, especially when they had passed through the walkways built on the lake. A concentrated spiritual energy blasted them in the face.They had just reached the second watchtower when two guards in brocade armor walked out of the shadows all of a sudden. They reached out

    Sebastian was from Braxton's side of the family. However, Braxton was only one of the side branches of the eight main branches of the Ballard family. For the past few decades, Braxton had pretty much cut off all contact with the Ballards. That was why his branch had been marginalized by the family almost completely.Despite this, the branch had produced two outstanding apprentices, who were Samson and Sebastian, respectively. This was what had attracted the attention of the Ballard family toward Braxton's branch once more."Sebastian, I'm sure that you still don't understand why Uncle Samson kicked you and your mother out of the family back then. Am I right?"Sebastian glanced at Andreas, but he didn't answer. No matter what Andreas said to him, it wouldn't be easy for Sebastian to forgive the jerk who had abandoned his wife and son."It was because of the emerald token!" Andreas answered his own question when he saw that Sebastian hadn't responded."The emerald token?" Sebastia

    Sebastian drew in a sharp breath and looked up at Andreas involuntarily.No wonder he had received news in the past about how Isabella had been seen at an unknown, great mountain.No matter how many people he had sent to do their best to search for her, there had been no trace of her at all.Sebastian now realized that Isabella hadn't been an ordinary person, either. After all, if she had been able to escape unscathed after causing a huge ruckus in the Ballard Estate, she had to be a top expert in terms of both her skills and the realm that she was in!"However, I was still young at the time. There are many things that I've only heard about. When you see Uncle Samson later, everything will become clear!"As he spoke, Andreas led Sebastian around a mountain ridge. At the foot of the mountain, there was a wooden house with a courtyard."Do you mean to say that my mother was also from an elite family of the mystic martial arts?" Sebastian asked, frowning. At that moment, all he want

    Sebastian gathered himself and waved at Duo as he said, "You don't need to come with me. Just wait there!"He took a deep breath and walked quickly toward the detached house on the slope.When he found himself standing in front of the tall gate, Sebastian suddenly felt conflicted. He hesitated for a long time before pushing the gate open and walking inside.The courtyard was fairly neat and tidy, but the furniture was very crude. There was only a rickety wooden table and a few wooden chairs that had been mended many times.In the spot close to the wooden fence, there was a little flowerbed built with bricks, and flowers and plants in a variety of colors were planted there.Beside the flowerbed, there was a middle-aged man who was over 40 years old, with salt and pepper hair. He was staring fixedly at Sebastian. There was a worn look on his face, which didn't match his age at all. When Sebastian met his eyes, he was immediately surprised.It was Samson, the man who had kicked Se

  • The Amazing Doctor   Chapter 2037

    Although Sebastian could feel Samson's resignation so clearly, he was determined to find out where Isabella was now that he had met him.When he stepped forward to find out, a noise broke out behind him.There was the sound of footsteps hurrying toward them, and Andreas rushed into the yard, panting heavily. He said urgently to Sebastian, "Bad news! Someone's here to cause trouble! Sebastian, come to the family chapel with me and hide—"Before he could finish, the gates to the yard opened, and over a dozen figures rushed in. The man in the lead was also a middle-aged man in his 40s. Those behind him were almost all among the younger generation of the Ballards.However, all of them had murder in their eyes.It was obvious that the family members of these people had died in the battle that took place when Isabella had turned up to fight with the Ballards. They had come specially to pick a fight with Sebastian upon hearing that he had returned to the Ballard Estate."Well, if it i

    "It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

    "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of

    Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were

    Samson glanced at Sebastian. He took a deep breath and said to Arnaud, "Thank you for sparing me, Uncle Arnaud."He gave Sebastian a few final reminders before leaving the hall with Preston.Once they were gone, Arnaud pointed at Duo and said to Sebastian, "Tell him to leave too."Sebastian waved a hand at Duo."I'll wait for you at the entrance, my lord," Duo said. "If anything happens, I'll be here as soon as you call!"He gave Arnaud a cold look before striding out of the hall.Arnaud watched him leave and smiled approvingly. He beckoned to Sebastian. "Come, sit!"Sebastian didn't hesitate. He crossed the hall and sat in the chair opposite Arnaud."Do you know why I asked Andreas to bring you back here?" Arnaud asked impassively. Sebastian shook his head expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice, "It's probably because of the emerald token in my father's possession."Apart from using him and Whitney as leverage against Samson, he couldn't think of any other reason.Arnau

    "The Blessed Child! The Blessed Child has finally come to our family!"The black-robed old man who had been sitting beside Arnaud stood up, looking pleased. He couldn't hide his excitement as he turned to Arnaud and said, "Arnaud, our family is going to prosper!"Only Rexton and Milton looked extremely displeased. Braxton and Roland looked pained, as if they had lost something of great value. They were practically thumping their chests in regret!The Blessed Child had been foretold by one of the heads of the family centuries ago. No matter how far the Ballards declined, the prophecy said that after a few hundred years, a Blessed Child would appear—someone who could lead the family's revival!The only proof of the Blessed Child was for him to enter a master-servant oath with a Devora."Prosper? What a joke!" Hugo scoffed, holding Virtus firmly. "Weren't you all just clamoring about killing the two of them?"At Hugo's words, Arnaud's expression changed slightly. "When did I say tha

    "Hugo!"Arnaud, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide. He eyed Hugo with a conflicted expression as he asked, "Have you forgotten the agreement the Thornes made with us ten years ago?"Hugo smiled coldly and put one hand behind his back. "That was the agreement you made with the Thornes. I'm only following Ms. Thorne's orders to protect Samson and find the emerald token. If Samson dies in this battle, how am I supposed to explain that to her?"He pointed at Sebastian and added, "He's Ms. Thorne's flesh and blood. Your family has no right to punish him! If the Ballards insist on killing them today, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"When Hugo had finished, Sebastian finally realized that Hugo was from Isabella's family and that he had stayed at the Ballard Estate to protect Samson.It was clear that Isabella hadn't held a grudge toward Samson. In fact, she had sent an expert to stay behind to protect him in case anything happened.Arnaud's

    Sebastian threw his head back in laughter. He strode forward, standing in the center of the hall, and said coldly. "Ungrateful? How could you have the audacity to say such a thing?"Even if I'm surrounded by enemies, you Ballards can forget about making me submit! It's just death, after all. If I even blink, then I won't call myself a man!"Everyone there stared at Sebastian."How dare that brat be so cocky? If he's not punished, it'll be a disgrace to our family rules!""He should be given the death penalty!""It'll be a disaster if we just let him be, and it'll only bring trouble for our family. Please give the order, and we'll kill him at once!"The entire hall was in an uproar. Even Preston, who had been speaking up for Sebastian and Samson, sighed in resignation.Since Sebastian had already made his stance clear, Preston couldn't help even if he wanted to.Sebastian had roused the anger of everyone there, and Arnaud had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything. He was cl

    Sebastian was just about to step forward when Samson hastily waved a hand at him and said, "Sebastian, the grudges of the Ballard family from over ten years ago have nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!""But—"Sebastian's gaze sharpened as he turned to look at Milton. There was an icy glint in his eyes. Samson shook his head slightly at Sebastian. The Ballard Estate had at least ten experts at the eighth level of the Eldoria realm. At Sebastian's current level, trying to fight them would only bring him big trouble."Sebastian, one must learn how to adapt to the situation," Samson whispered into his ear using voice projection. "Today, I will exchange my legs for your and Whitney's freedom. Think of it as a payment for what I owe you and your mother."Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He hated himself for being too weak. He couldn't even protect his own family in a place like the Ballard Estate, where many experts were gathered.However, he would never allow anyone to

    "Do you accept it, Samson?" Arnaud asked harshly when he saw that Preston hadn't said anything else. He turned to look directly at Samson.Samson smiled bitterly and turned to look at Sebastian before raising his head to look at Arnaud, who was sitting high above them. He said, "Uncle Arnaud, I was the reason for everything that happened. I wish to ask you not to trouble Sebastian.""What are you talking about?" Preston was agitated. He stood up again and yelled, "There must still be an investigation about who was right and who was wrong. Why should they break your legs?"As he spoke, his eyes blazed with fury. He looked at the thin old man and said furiously, "Milton, you old bastard! How can you be so shameless at your age? Tell me! Did you embellish the story to Arnaud?""Uncle Preston!" Samson stopped him quickly and sighed slightly. "Forget it. It's my fault for bringing such huge trouble upon our family back then."I admit that I have let our family down. Since imprisoning m
